Among 1-3 year-olds, 2 servings of dairy are recommended, and among 4-5 year olds, 2.5 servings of dairy are recommended per day. Children consume smaller portions than adults, so this amount may need to be spread over smaller portions. A serving of dairy includes:^1,2

• 1 cup of yogurt or milk

• 1.5 ounces natural cheese or 2 ounces of processed cheese

• 1 cup pudding/frozen yogurt

Non fat and low fat milk or yogurt are recommended when selecting your dairy servings

It is recommended that yogurt be used within seven days of opening it. If the whey separates from the rest of the yogurt, liquid may form on top of the yogurt. The liquid whey is safe to stir back into the yogurt and consume. Additionally, it’s important to note that the fermentation process used to create yogurt extends its shelf life in comparison to milk, so yogurt will last longer than milk after it’s created.³

Making Greek yogurt uses more milk than regular yogurt because some of the whey (liquid) is removed to give it a more thick and creamy texture. On average, Greek yogurt has twice the amount of protein of regular yogurt and has less lactose, which can be helpful for children that are lactose intolerant.
